Here's a photo I took during Minhan's wedding. My hands shook a bit so the picture isn't clear at all.. Ha. I like the Victorian style of wedding costume. It looks dashing on him and glamorous on his wife. Ha, looking at that makes me think about how I want my wedding to be. Still too early to say. =P

Took mum out to dinner today. I had no idea where to bring her for a treat because I don't know where I can satisfy her with the little money I have. In the end, we ate dinner at ThaiExpress City Hall in the Citylink Mall. I always wanted to try that but hasn't got a chance to. The place isn't as big as I thought when I peered in from outside. On a careful observation, the impression is created due to the smart use of mirror and arrangement of furniture in the shop.

I really like the food I ordered. I can't remember the name but here's the photo. I forgot to take a photo before I start eating and this one was taken halfway through. The initial arrangement was neat and very appealing in its appearance. I chose this because this isn't spicy hot which really suits my taste. My mum chose the wrong dish which was the Tom Yam Crayfish noodle which to both of us is very very spicy hot! I, myself, is unable to finish even a quarter of that. I'm quite awed by my mum that she can finish 3/4 of her dish. Here's a picture of that taken halfway through. The crayfish however is nice! Succulent and tasty. The flesh is quite small compared to the size of its shell though. Ha. For me, I drank quite a lot of the watermelon with lime freeze to chill my tongue down. Both our drinks cost quite a bomb. Should have just satisfy myself with sharing a drink, since their service includes pouring free flow plain water which I guess should be enough to cool my tongue down. =X

Smile through your day, life will be hard without that.

Life's getting harder for me. Sailing for firing's planned one after another... Madness. For each, post firing check's really killing me. Having fumigation at this point of time's really having a toll on me. It may just be a routine or programme planned on the calendar for the officers but the painstaking process, who'll know except for the gunners. Fellow gunners going on long leave soon... I'm going to feel a heavier burden pressed upon me in time to come. At times, I really feel like throwing every thing away and just go away... far away... I'm back home every day with aches in my back or arms and legs. Don't know how long the torture is going to persist.

What's the idea of instant messaging (MSN, yahoo messenger) to you? Do you have even half of the number of people you add in your list talking to you? How long have you seen some of those in your list? Sadly, there are truly many forgotten acquaintances. Hmm, life's weird. Just nothing can stay the same, even for friends. Those who stay, well... that's great then.

Sometimes, happiness can be so vague. Most of the time, it doesn't occur. I have to pursue. It may not be the same for everyone but I find that the happiness that came from pursuit is the most precious feeling I can derive out of the mundane things in life. I need more courage and persistence to motivate me to my goal and I hope I can find that in me soon.

Happy birthday, brother! Hope you'll enjoy your time every day with her but not forgetting to study well too!
